Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using for the first time

• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and con-

nection”.

Correct use

• The dishwasher is only intended for washing do-

mestic dishes.

• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are

not permitted.

• Use only special salt, detergent and rinse aid suita-

ble for domestic dishwashers.

• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. This

could cause an explosion.

Child safety

• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk

of suffocation.

• Children often do not recognise the hazards asso-

ciated with electrical appliances. Don’t allow chil-

dren to use the dishwasher unsupervised.

• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into

the dishwasher. Could endanger life!

• Dishwasher detergents can cause chemical burns

to the eyes, mouth and throat. Could endanger life!

Comply with the safety instructions of the dish-

washer detergent manufacturer.

• The water in the dishwater is not for drinking. Risk

of chemical burns.

General safety

• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried

out by qualified service engineers.

• When the dishwasher is not being used, switch it

off and shut off the water tap.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the ca-

ble. Always pull the plug.

• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always

closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In

this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the

open door and hurting themselves.

• Never sit or stand on the open door.

• If the dishwasher is located in a room where there

may be a frost, remove the connection hose from

the tap after each use of the dishwasher.

Dishwasher door safety catch

Prior to using for the first time

1. Set the water softener

2. Fill up with special salt for water softeners

3. Fill up with rinse aid

3 If you wish to use 3in1 detergent, do the fol-

lowing:

– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.

– Fill the salt container with dishwasher salt.

– Set the softener unit to its lowest setting.

– Deactivate the rinse aid inflow. For dishwashers

where the rinse aid inflow cannot be deactivated,

– Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1

detergent in the detergent dispenser.

– The drying result may be affected.

Setting the water softener

The water softener must be set manually and elec-

tronically:

3 To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in

the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed

with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime con-

tent. The water softener must be set according

to the table to the water hardness in the area

where you live. Your local water company will

be able to give you information about the wa-

ter hardness in your area.

The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn water hardness dial on the left wall of the

dishwasher interior to O or 1 (see table).

Setting electronically:

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit,

a dishwashing cycle is activated. The dish-

washing cycle must be deselected:

Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously

for approx. 2 seconds.

All additional wash programme button indica-

tors will go out.

2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and

keep them pressed.

The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will

flash.

3. Press function button 1.

The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.

The multi-display will indicate the hardness setting.

4. Pressing function button 1 increases the hard-

ness setting by 1.

(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness

setting 10).

5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the

ON/OFF button.

The hardness setting is now saved.

If the water softener is set electronically to “1”, this

switches off the control indicator for special salt.

Adding special salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up

with special salt. Use only special salt suitable for

domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special

salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

– When the control indicator for special salt is illumi-

nated on the control panel.

1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.

2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by turning

it anti-clockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first

time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser

opening.

Fill the dispenser with special salt; the capacity of

the dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on

the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.

3 If water overflows when filling up with special

salt, this is completely harmless.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser

opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt

dispenser with special salt. This will wash away

salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.

3 Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can

take several hours for the salt to dissolve in

the water and for the control indicator for spe-

cial salt to go out.

Filling up with rinse aid

With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better

and so you get smear-free, gleaming dishes and

clear glasses.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

– When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminat-

ed on the control panel.

Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers and no

other liquid detergents.

1. Open the door.

The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside

of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compart-

ment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to the broken

“max” line;

this corresponds to a volume of approx. 140 ml

when full.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise

there will be too much foam when rinsing.

Setting the amount of rinse aid re-

quired

3 Only change the amount dispensed, if smears,

milky spots (reduce the amount) or dried on

water spots (increase the amount) can be seen

on glasses and dishes. (See section “If dish-

washing results are not satisfactory”.) The

dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is

pre-set to “4” in the factory.

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compart-

ment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Set the dosage level.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.

6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it away with a

cloth.

In daily use

Loading cutlery and dishes

1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other ob-

jects that can absorb water must not be

washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-

coated dishes and pans tend to retain water

droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do

not dry as well as those made of china and

stainless steel.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

– Remove the worst of the food residues.

– Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation

of the spray arms.

– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the

opening downwards so that water cannot collect

in them

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside

one another or cover one another

– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch

one another

– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for

the dishes, but in the cutlery basket, so that they

can’t fall through the holes.

For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or moth-

er of pearl handles

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant

• Older cutlery with cement

that is sensitive to temperature

• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts

• Pewter or copper items

• Lead crystal glass

• Steel items that rust

• Wooden boards/platters

• Items made from synthetic materials

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically

marked by the manufacturer as being dishwasher-safe.

• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently in the

dishwasher.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour dur-

ing washing. Food remains, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and

mustard often cause discoloration and staining on silver.

Therefore always clean food residues from silver immediately,

if it is not to be washed straight after use.

• Glass can become dull after a large number of washes.

Loading cutlery

1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cut-

lery with sharp edges must be laid in the cut-

lery rack or in the upper basket because of the

risk of injury.

To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery bas-

ket can be reached by the water, you should:

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the

lower basket.

(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).

To make it easier to load larger dishes, the two rear

plate rests in the lower basket can be folded down

and the cutlery basket in the lower basket can be

moved to the side.

1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket 2. Place forks and spoons in the cutlery basket's grid

insert with their handles pointing downwards.

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery

in the knife drawer.

• Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding

cup racks so that they are offset from each other

and water can reach all items.

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for

tall crockery items.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in

the cup racks.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

3 The height of the baskets can also be adjusted

when they are loaded.

Raising / Lowering the upper basket

1. Pull out the upper basket completely.

2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as

far as it will go and then lower it vertically.

The upper basket will latch into the lower or the

upper position.

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how full the baskets for the dishes are.

Variations are therefore possible in practice.

2) When using this cycle the degree of water clouding determines the amount of soiling on the dishes. The length of the cycle and

water and energy consumption can vary greatly – depending upon the load and how dirty the dishes are. Depending upon the

soiling, the temperature of the water will be automatically adjusted to between 50°C and 65°C.

3) Test programme for Test Institutes

4) When using this cycle, only load the dishwasher half full.

Starting a dishwashing cy-

cle

1. Check that the spray arms can turn freely.

2. Turn the water tap on fully.

3. Close the door.

4. Press the ON/OFF button.

5. Select the desired cycle.

The programme indicator comes on. The remaining

time expected for the cycle will be shown in the

multi-display.

The selected cycle will begin after approximately 3

seconds.

3 During the dishwashing cycle, the remaining

time shown in the multi-display may be adjust-

ed according to the size of the load, degree of

soiling, etc.

Interrupting or aborting a dish-

washing cycle

Only interrupt a dishwashing cycle that is in progress

if it is absolutely necessary.

Interrupting the dishwashing pro-

gramme by opening the dishwasher door

1 Hot steam may escape when the door is

opened. There is a risk of scalding.

1. Open the door carefully. The dishwashing cycle will

stop.

2. Close the door. The cycle will continue.

Aborting the dishwashing cycle

1. Press function buttons 1 and 2 and keep them

pressed.

The programme display for the current cycle will

flash for several seconds and then go out.

2. Release the function buttons. The dishwashing cy-

cle has been cancelled.

3. If you want to start a new cycle, check whether

there is any detergent in the dispenser.

3 Turning off the dishwasher will only interrupt a

selected dishwashing cycle, not cancel it. The

cycle will recommence after turning the dish-

washer back on again.

Setting the Delay Timer

3 With the delay timer you can delay the start of

a dishwashing cycle for between 1 and 19

hours.

1. Press the Delay Timer button repeatedly until the

multi-display shows the desired time delay, for ex-

ample 12h, if the cycle is to start in 12 hours. The

Delay Timer indicator is illuminated.

2. Select dishwashing cycle.

3. The time remaining to the start of the cycle is con-

tinuously displayed (e. g. 12h, 11h, 10h, … 1h etc.).

To change the time delay:

As long as the cycle has not yet started, you can still

change the setting by pressing the DELAY TIMER

button.

Cancelling the time delay:

Press the Delay Timer button repeatedly until the

length of the selected cycle appears in the multi-dis-

play. The selected dishwashing cycle will begin im-

mediately.

To change a dishwashing cycle

As long as the cycle has not yet started, you can still

change the dishwashing cycle. First abort the dish-

washing cycle, then re-set the time delay, lastly se-

lect the new dishwashing cycle.

Switching off the dish-

washer

Do not switch off the dishwasher until the multi-dis-

play indicates “0” for the remaining cycle time.

With some dishwashing cycles, the drying fan con-

tinues to run even after the end of the cycle.

1. Press the ON/OFF button. All display indicators will

go out.

2. Turn off the water tap.

1 Carefully open the door. Hot steam may es-

cape.

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Therefore leave

the dishes to cool for about 15 minutes before re-

moving them. You also get a better drying result.

Removing the dishes

3 It is normal for the inner door and the dispens-

ers to be damp.

• Empty the lower basket first, then the upper bas-

ket. This way you avoid dripping water from the

upper basket onto dishes in the lower basket.

• The dishwasher's interior light will always be on

when the door of the appliance is open. Therefore,

in order to save energy, you should always close

the door of the dishwasher after having loaded or

removed dishes.

Care and cleaning

Do not use furniture care products or aggres-

sive cleaners.

• When necessary, clean the dishwasher’s controls

with a soft cloth and clean warm water.

• Occasionally check the internal dispensers, door

seal and water inlet filter (if fitted) for dirt and clean

them, if necessary.

Cleaning the filters

3 The filters must be regularly checked and

cleaned. Dirty filters will spoil the wash results.

1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.

2. Turn the handle about ¼ of a turn anticlockwise (A)

and remove the filter system (B).

3. Grasp the grip hole on the fine filter (1) and remove

it from the micro-filter (2).

4. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

5. Remove the flat filter (3) from the base of the wash-

ing compartment and clean both surfaces thor-

oughly.

6. Re-insert the flat filter.

7. Place the fine filter in the micro-filter and fit the two

together.

8. Insert the filter system in place and lock it by turn-

ing the handle clockwise as far as it will go. Ensure

that the flat filter does not protrude above the base

of the washing compartment.

1 Under no circumstances may the dishwasher

be used without its filters.
